The America First Political Action Conference (AFPAC; /æfpæk/ AF-pak) is an annual political conference, widely described as white nationalist,[1][2][3] attended by members of the "America First" movement and supporters of Nick Fuentes, also known as Groypers. The conference is described as a "white nationalist alternative"[4] to CPAC, the Conservative Political Action Conference.[5] [6]
History
2020
The inaugural conference was held on February 28, 2020, to little media attention. Michelle Malkin, Patrick Casey, who formerly lead Neo-Nazi group Identity Evropa, and former Daily Caller editor Scott Greer spoke at the event, as well as Nick Fuentes, its host.
2021
The second conference was held on February 26, 2021. The speakers included white supremacists[7] as well as current Representative Paul Gosar,[8] whose attendance was the subject of significant controversy.[9]
